Convertible Service began in 1982 when Paul Terry, the owner-operator, realized that he
was better at repairing convertibles than he was at selling them. His home business of restoring
convertibles for resale was not going well because of one thing. He was a lousy salesman. So
he decided to advertise his expertise at convertible top mechanism repair, at least until a “real
job” came along.
Well, by the mercy of God, there was a bigger need for this type of work than Paul imagined.
God kept sending him more customers and teaching him how to be a good businessman. God,
in His grace to all ignorant people, saw to it that none of Paul’s mistakes were terminal. The
business has grown steadily over the years, moving several times, to more adequate facilities.
It has become the goal of Paul and his dedicated associates, Glen, Jan, Mark, Ron, Bill,
Becky, Larry, Pablo and Lin to be of service to the good convertible owners of America (and the
world) and to the shops who serve them. They will continue to develop new products, like the
ones in this catalog, to solve some of the problems of the convertible owner.
There are many different sizes within these years. Good used or
reconditioned latches. Please call for price and availability.
LATCH PARTS
Through all of the changes which have taken place at Convertible Service, one thing has
remained the same. Paul is still a lousy salesman.
But he does know a bit about your convertible top mechanism. You can call on him and he’ll
help you. So will Glen, Jan, Ron, Bill, Becky and Larry. That’s what we’re here for.
NEW CATCHES 1961-1964 GM FULL SIZE
LATCH HOOK ASSEMBLY
The top catches are what the latch hooks attach to when latching the
top to the windshield. These chrome plated convertible top catches
include new nylon guide bushing retainers. The visor mount brackets are integrated into the catches.

NEW CATCHES 1968-1972 GM MID SIZE
If your convertible works fine, but you have other problems (and don’t we all?) there is
someone we can recommend to you without reservation. God. He has met all our needs
(business and personal) here at Convertible Service, by giving us a relationship with Himself
through the death and resurrection of Jesus, His Son. You can call on Him and He’ll help you,
too. That’s what He’s here for.
The best gift I can give you in these uncertain times is this.
The Bible is alive in a way that no other book is. Please consider this. It just might actually
be the “Word of God” with a message personally, from Him, for you, no matter what group you
were born to, what choices you’ve made, or what life style you find yourself living. I’ve found it
to be so, again and again. If you read it, and if you really want Him to, He will show you Himself,
and what He wants to give you.
Thank you for your patronage, and for reading this far.
God bless you.

UPPER PIVOT TYPE
TOP LIFT CYLINDERS
During the early 60’s, all of The Big Three car makers
switched to a cylinder design with the pivot point at the
top of the cylinder case, allowing the lower part of the
cylinder to rotate fore and aft as the top traveled (a design
which is still employed today). From 1970 on, these
cylinders were constructed partly of plastic, making it a
nonrebuildable, throwaway part. Convertible Service
employs the all metal construction design of the 60’s and
manufactures upper pivot lift cylinders to fit all convertibles from the 60’s right up to the present time GM, Ford,
Chrysler, AMC and even Toyota, Renault & Infiniti M30
convertibles! On other reproduction top cylinders, the
cylinder case is made by crimping two pieces of aluminum together. At Convertible Service the cylinders are
manufactured according to the original design by forming an all metal, one piece case. This process eliminates
the possibility of leaks from the lower part of the cylinder
(which is a common problem with the crimped-together
type). The result is.... a more reliable cylinder. On other
reproduction top pivot cylinders the ports which receive
the hydraulic hoses from the pump/motor are made by
screwing in pre-fab external brass fittings which protrude
as much as 3/4’s of an inch further than the originals and
create clearance problems when you try to mount them
in the car. Our cylinder castings are formed with the port
built into the castings. They fit right into the car, just like
the originals did!

LINCOLN AND T-BIRD
TOP & DECK CYLINDERS
From the late 40’s to the early 60’s, top cylinders had their pivot point at the bottom of the
cylinder case. Convertible Service has designed cylinders to fit the many different configurations of lower castings, port sizes, stroke
dimensions and rod ends (threaded end or
forged eyelet) for the different years and models. We take great pride in manufacturing quality top cylinders which will fit your convertible
just like the original cylinders.
Lincoln and Thunderbird convertibles of the 60’s employed two pairs of lift cylinders. One pair opened and
closed the trunk lid, while the other pair raised and lowered
the top, in and out of the trunk. Convertible Service has
brand new, all metal replacement top cylinders and deck
lid lift cylinders for all the different models. They come with
the same one year warranty that accompanies all new

Based on our years of experience and response from our customers, we recommend replacing both cylinders, over just replacing the one that’s obviously bad.
1. A common reason for replacing a cylinder is that it is leaking fluid. If only one new cylinder is installed, the remaining old cylinder, being suddenly required
to operate in a tight, leak-free system under factory pressure, will frequently begin to leak, too.
It is easier, and less costly, to replace two cylinders at once, than one cylinder now, and the other in a few months down the road.
2. Teaming a new cylinder with an old one can cause unequal lifting force applied to the left and right sides of the folding top frame, which could, in time, distort
the folding frame or cause the pivot points to wear unevenly.
3. Some older factory top cylinders were designed with a longer stroke than necessary, so the same cylinder would fit in several different size cars. If the
operator leaves his finger on the top switch after the top is all the way up, the hydraulic system is pushing against a dead stop, which can cause the cylinder rods to
bend permanently. For these models, Convertible Service has designed shorter cylinders which will push the top all the way up, but no further. Naturally, it is not a good
idea to match a new correct size cylinder with an old one that is too long.
Convertible Service will gladly sell you as many or as few top cylinders as you want. But for the above reasons, we recommend that cylinders be replaced in pairs.

The #4 bow is the bow right above the rear window; the #3 bow is the
bow in front of the #4 bow. The slider strips mount on these bows and
are crucial to reducing friction on the travel of the side rails as they fold

smooth, it’s time to replace them to prevent drag on the side rails.

TOP MECHANISM
SERVICE MANUAL
Sound advice: Never do
anything to a convertible
top mechanism without the
factory service manual.
Diagrams, pictures and instructions are a must for
adjusting & repairs. If you
already own a shop
manual, do not buy this.
This same info can be
found there. ........ $28.60
Slow or inoperative scissor top: It’s easy to assume that the problem is the motor, but, friction from worn parts is the most common
cause for a good motor to not be able to operate the top. Often it’s not just worn side rails or side gears, but a combination of several
of them being worn at once. See “Worn Side Rail test”, Worn Side Gear test” & “Bad switch, relay or motor” tests below to be
sure.
#2 Bow folds incorrectly when raising top (one side goes forward toward the header bow): Two things control the position of the
#2 Bow; See “Worn #2 bow side brackets” & “Side Hold Down cables” below.
Only one side of top operates: One Drive Cable may be loose or broken. Inspect both, first at the side gears, then at the motor behind
the rear seat back. If drive cables are functioning, perform the “Worn Side Gear test” below, on both sides.
Top guide pins won’t reach forward enough to drop into holes on the windshield: 1. Side rails not adjusted or bent. Follow Fisher
Body Manual adjustments. If problem persists, bent side rail may need replacing. 2. Top material may be too tight at the header bow,
in the rear quarter, or both. If it is, loosen the top, if possible, or install a new top after properly adjusting the frame. Also, see if tightness
of rear window curtain on the #4 bow is holding the outer rear rail assembly back. 3. If only one guide pin can’t be pulled into it’s hole,
try resyncronizing drive cables so that the bad side comes up to the windshield a little sooner than the other side.
TESTS TO HELP YOU FIND WHICH PARTS ARE BAD:
Worn Side Rail test: With top lowered 2 feet back from windshield, one side at a time, grab the front of the side rail and move it
up and down. If there is more than 2 inches of play (caused by slack at the side rail elbow pivot), the side rail has too much wear.
Worn Side Gear test: With the top folded all the way down, disconnect the drive cables and unbolt the side gears from the 3 inch
siderail links. Grab the side gear appendage and force it through it’s travel, all the way forward and all the way back. A worn side gear
will either bind up at one or more points (going in either direction), or, will move too freely in either direction. A good side gear will
have constant firm resistance throughout travel in both directions.
Worn #2 Bow Side Brackets: Check for play where pivot ball/rivets swedge to the bracket; also, see if bracket is bent.
Side Hold Down Cables: Each side cable should have a 2” shunt cable attached to the #2 bow. See if it’s disconnected or broken,
or, if the ends of the #2 bow core substance can no longer hold the cable screw. Replace side cables or #2 bow.
Bad switch, bad relay or a bad motor?: This is a little more complicated. Call our info line, 626-285-2255. We’ll help you, free!

underneath the top material. If yours are broken, gouged or no longer
smooth, it’s time to replace them to prevent drag on the side rails.

PUMP MOTORS
NEW PUMP MOTORS MADE TO FIT FORD, GM, CHRYSLER,
& OTHER CONVERTIBLES, WITHOUT MODIFICATIONS!
NEW STYLE PUMP MOTORS
FOR SOME CARS 1988 - ON
The hydraulic pump motor is the “heart” of your power top system. Until recently all you could buy
was a “universal” type motor that you had to modify to fit your convertible. Now, Convertible Service
has done the work for you. We are now manufacturing pump motors in many different formats to
fit General Motors, Ford, Chrysler, and many other convertibles. (Some samples are pictured
above.) No modifications necessary. Just slide the new pump motor in where the old one was! State
year, make & model when you place your order. 1955 to Present.........................$220.00
(NOTE: For earlier years, please call us for price and availability)
In the early 80’s, Ford, GM, Chrysler, Saab,
Toyota and other foreign and domestic
manufacturers began introducing a 2 wire
style pump motor that requires a relay.
Some convertibles use a type of hose that
requires the motor to be built with special
hose fittings. We have both for your
convertible, by year, make & model.

ONE SIZE DOES NOT FIT ALL
Other reproduction hose assemblies are “universal length“. They are long enough to fit a
Cadillac, but will squeeze into a Camaro if
you form a loop in the hose. Convertible
Service manufactures hydraulic hose assemblies specifically for each year, make
and model car. The right length, the right
fittings. They are made with the same high
pressure super flexible nylon or rubber tubing, and, the same brass fittings with swivel
nuts, factory swedged in the same way as
were your original hoses. Hose ends are
either straight or 90 degree as per original
assemblies.
None of our hose assemblies are mass
produced and kept in stock. Each hose assembly is manufactured as your order is
placed. This assures you of a fresh hose
assembly; not one which has already aged
for 2 years on the shelf. And, most hose
assemblies are shipped the same day you
order them!

messy process of “pre-priming”, can be quickly

NEW CONVERTIBLE TOPS AND REAR WINDOWS
ROBBINS CONVERTIBLE TOPS feature distinctive styling, fine custom workmanship, and attention
to detail. Original factory designs are followed and improved upon when necessary by adding extra
reinforcements and other steps as part of their commitment to quality in the manufacture of convertible
tops. All seams are stitched with Dacron thread and Dielectrically Heatsealed for superior strength.
Dacron thread offers the highest resistance to fading of any thread available. Plastic rear windows are
sewn into most rear curtains and tops with zippered rear windows. PLASTIC REAR WINDOWS are
made exclusively of Ultralite B.U.V. Formulation, which offers much greater resistance to discoloration
and ultraviolet light degradation. This formulation also offers somewhat improved resistance to
scratching, and a much longer service life than other plastic rear windows previously available. Plastic
rear windows cannot be warranteed at this time because of the harmful effects of UV light and
chemicals found in smog, smoke, dust, etc., over which we have no control. Frequent cleaning,
however, will prolong the life of plastic rear windows. GLASS REAR WINDOWS are heavily reinforced
and carefully finished to provide quality appearance and long service life.

Nothing improves the looks of a convertible with the top down more than a well-fitted top boot. Our

to ensure long service life.

These are located in the outer seam of the convertible top material and serve to keep the edges of the top material from fluttering

convertible top. We stock over thirty different configurations of hold-down cables. Order by year, make & model ..... Please call

ABOUT THE COMPANY
(AND YOU)
Convertible Service began in 1982 when Paul Terry, the owner-operator, realized that he
was better at repairing convertibles than he was at selling them. His home business of restoring
convertibles for resale was not going well because of one thing. He was a lousy salesman. So
he decided to advertise his expertise at convertible top mechanism repair, at least until a “real
job” came along.
Well, by the mercy of God, there was a bigger need for this type of work than Paul imagined.
God kept sending him more customers and teaching him how to be a good businessman. God,
in His grace to all ignorant people, saw to it that none of Paul’s mistakes were terminal. The
business has grown steadily over the years, moving several times, to more adequate facilities.
It has become the goal of Paul and his dedicated associates, Glen, Jan, Mark, Ron, Bill,
Becky, Larry, Pablo and Lin to be of service to the good convertible owners of America (and the
world) and to the shops who serve them. They will continue to develop new products, like the
ones in this catalog, to solve some of the problems of the convertible owner.
Through all of the changes which have taken place at Convertible Service, one thing has
remained the same. Paul is still a lousy salesman.
But he does know a bit about your convertible top mechanism. You can call on him and he’ll
help you. So will Glen, Jan, Ron, Bill, Becky and Larry. That’s what we’re here for.
If your convertible works fine, but you have other problems (and don’t we all?) there is
someone we can recommend to you without reservation. God. He has met all our needs
(business and personal) here at Convertible Service, by giving us a relationship with Himself
through the death and resurrection of Jesus, His Son. You can call on Him and He’ll help you,
too. That’s what He’s here for.
The best gift I can give you in these uncertain times is this.
The Bible is alive in a way that no other book is. Please consider this. It just might actually
be the “Word of God” with a message personally, from Him, for you, no matter what group you
were born to, what choices you’ve made, or what life style you find yourself living. I’ve found it
to be so, again and again. If you read it, and if you really want Him to, He will show you Himself,
and what He wants to give you.
Thank you for your patronage, and for reading this far.
God bless you.
Paul
